Default unusual problem

Hello all,

I seem to be having a strange problem with my Limewire. When I search for audio using one keyword 'faithless' I receive 100+ results and many of them will download with no problem.

When I search using more than one keyword 'faithless baby' I will receive 100+ results however NONE of them will download, all will say Need more Sources.

Is this a known problem?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Have you verified the files you downloaded are the real thing? Just check to make sure they're not spam or false files. Check their file sizes, if they're less than 2 MB (2,000 KB) in size then they may well be spam files. Try playing them to be sure. Are you aware of this: autogenerated mp3 spam results

tx for the reply,

yes, the files I have downloaded are quite legitimate, they are the real deal.

When searching using two keywords, the 100+ results I get are all the sizes that one would expect (3MB+).

I should also add that this is not just the case when searching with 'faithless baby'. It also happens when running searches like 'faithless home' 'faithless family'.

I'm just looking for the artist faithless and the song with family or baby in the title. They return legitimate results, however none of them will download. LimeWire will say Connecting... and then will invariably end up saying 'Need more Sources'. I will have pages of search results, but none of them will download.

the funny thing is, if I just search with 'faithless', all the results will download with no problem.
